Times of pain never departs

Let your enemy visit my fingers

But be with me now till it’s easy

I want to go back, don’t close the door

I want to push out, let them in first

This is not a familiar feeling

And I know I’ve not seen it all

My game is not over yet

Save that red blinking health

The ones that died

Many by shock and risk

The ones I killed

In betrayal and mistrust

How did they face this?

I am on my knees in just a second…

I have subdued a king for hours

If this is the reason tears flow

Then please, weep for me

For I have torn myself in two

And I was awake when I did it

My eyes bleed and veins leak

I don’t know how much is left for me

But if a millisecond is left on it

Take me back and let me live

Now I know nothing is worse than quit

I left the heart with my own feet

I’m going to face the meat I made my feast

In a place, I’m just a bit late
